Focal Point: 10 Pictures of Rome

No trip to Italy is complete without a visit to the Italian capital, which has been around for more than 2500 years. Rome is what I call one of the “three giants of Europe” alongside London, and Paris. I say “giants” because you can spend a countless number of days on these city streets and never scratch the surface of their great pasts. The historic sites of Rome are perhaps the best known landmarks in the world, which include: the Colosseum, St. Peter’s Basilica, Trevi Fountain, and the Pantheon (not pictured), to name a few.

I got my first glimpse of Rome as a six year old when I watched the 1953 Audrey Hepburn movie, Roman Holiday, and have wanted to visit ever since. Just so we get this clear: No I’m not much of a romantic, but as a photographer I saw too many great photo opportunities to resist visiting 🙂

Without further blabbering, here are some of my best pictures of Rome from recent times:

Have you been to Rome? What’s your favorite Roman landmark or site?

Hi my name is Teja, and I am an entrepreneur, travel writer, and photographer from Dallas. I’ve visited over 20 different countries within the last couple of years and I just can’t wait to board my next flight. Ever since I was a kid, I had an obsession for all things associated with travel whether it be airports, train stations, airplanes, cars, points/miles (of course), and even luggage (yes I really mean that). I am a pretty much a freakishly avid writer and so I write tons of stories, poems, reviews, and basically any kind of text. So feel free to say: stop ranting!
As a kid I wasn’t really much of a points geek because my dad was so good at it (and he still is – credit to him for getting me into this hobby). However as time passed on, he became busier with his work life and handed over the reins to me. I try to maximize the points I earn on every purchase made for my business, and our personal expenditure. Over the years we have used the points and miles from credit card bonuses and shopping to fly Emirates, Lufthansa, and many more airlines first/business class on our vacations. Hopefully, you as my readers can join us in having similar adventures!
